FAQs

I’d like express shipping, do you offer this?

All of our parcels are sent on a 24 hour service with Royal Mail.

The product I’d like to buy is out of stock, what should I do?

Please sign up to our stock notifications and as soon as it comes back in stock, you’ll be the first to know!

Do you have everything available in your bricks and mortar shop?

We try to have a full range available in our shop but at times we can’t have every item available in store. If you are looking for an exact item, please let us know beforehand and we will make sure it’s in store for you.

I have purchased a pre-order product, what does this mean?

For some items we offer them on pre-order but the estimated due in date may vary as we are reliant on the brand, international shipping partners, customs and the boarder to run smoothly to enable the product to be available on time. Whilst this is always possible, changes may occur in our estimated delivery times.

Our Covid-19 Update

• We use Royal Mail as our delivery partner and we work with them really closely to ensure that parcels are delivered in a timely fashion.
• We work in our own warehouse, all orders are packed by a small team (1 or 2 people) so social distancing is adhered to at all times, therefore it may take longer to pack your orders.
• As a small, family run shop and juggling small children at home, so please be patient as we adapt our business to this new normal. If you need anything, please drop us a line and we will always do our utmost to get back to you ASAP and help resolve any issue.

Thank you for your support!

How safe are the toys you sell?

All the toys that we sell are tested to EN71 and CE standards. We are very picky about the toys we stock and ensure that they comply with EN71 and CE standards. You can read more about these standards here.

If I need to return an item, what should I do?

Please have a look at our return section for full details on how to return an item. We have tried to make it as fuss-free as possible but please let us know how we can help if you are having any issues.

Pay in 30 days

How does Pay in 30 days in 3 interest-free instalments work?

Pay in 30 days in 3 interest-free instalments will allow you to spread the cost of your purchase over 3 equal payments. The payment for each instalment will automatically be collected from the debit or credit card you entered at checkout. Your first instalment will be collected when your order is confirmed by Acorn & Pip and instalments 2 and 3 are scheduled 30 and 60 days later, respectively. You can always monitor your payments’ schedule in the Klarna app.

Am I eligible for Pay in 3 in 3 interest-free instalments?

To use Pay in 3 in 3 interest-free instalments you must be at least 18. Whilst this option is widely promoted, Pay in 3 interest-free instalments is subject to your financial circumstances. When choosing Pay in 30 days in 3 interest-free instalments, our assessment will not affect your credit rating.

How can I increase my chances of being accepted for Pay in 30 days in 3 interest-free instalments?

Klarna is unique and offers Pay in 30 days in 3 interest-free instalments based on a number of factors such as the order value, previous order history and item availability. If you are 18 or over, you can improve your chances of being offered Pay in 3 interest-free instalments by ensuring you provide your full name and accurate address details and shipping to your registered billing address. All orders are assessed individually. Just because you have been accepted for a Klarna payment method before does not mean it will be offered for every order and in turn, as it is denied does not mean it will be denied for all future orders.

What do I need to provide when I make a purchase?

If you want to make a purchase with Klarna using Pay in 30 days in 3 interest-free instalments, you’ll need to provide your mobile phone number, email address, current billing address and a debit or card card.

It’s very important that you give us the correct details, as otherwise you will not receive your payment schedule and any updated order information.

Will a credit search take place against me?

Klarna may run so-called unrecorded enquiries (or soft credit searches) that do not affect credit scoring and are only visible to you and Klarna, but not visible to other lenders. Neither Klarna nor Acorn & Pip run credit searches against you that could impact your credit rating.

Why have I not been offered Pay in 3 interest-free instalments?

Although Pay in 30 days in 3 interest-free instalments is widely promoted it is not always universally available.

What are my payment options with Klarna?

Payment for your Pay in 30 days in 3 interest-free instalments will automatically be collected from the debit or credit card you entered at checkout. The first payment is taken when the order is confirmed. The second and third instalments are collected 30 and 60 days, respectively, after the first instalment.

If we are unable to collect your payment on the scheduled due date Klarna will make one further attempt to automatically collect payment two days later. Should this last payment attempt fail, Klarna will issue you a statement for the full outstanding order amount which will become payable 15 days later. Klarna shall notify you when a payment is due two days in advance of attempting to collect your payment and you can always monitor the due date in Klarna app at your convenience. Your credit score will not be impacted by using Klarna’s ‘Pay in 30 days’ product even if you have failed to pay on time.

If a payment has been collected but you have not received payment confirmation, you can always check the status of your order and payments in the Klarna app or by logging in at www.klarna.com/uk.

What happens to my statement, when I’ve returned the goods?

Once Acorn & Pip has received the return (partial or full) and you have received their confirmation of this, an updated statement with an adjusted payment schedule will be sent to you by Klarna if you’ve made a partial return. With a full return, we shall refund any payments collected and cancel any future scheduled payments. You are always able to monitor the status of your order in the Klarna app.

I’ve received a statement, but I’ve not yet received my goods.

In the event that your goods have not been received please email Acorn & Pip to check on your order and delivery status. You can also contact Klarna’s Customer Service so that we can postpone the due date on your payment or put the order on hold in the Klarna app while you wait for the goods to arrive.

I have cancelled my order. How long will it take until I receive my refund?

As soon as the store has registered your cancellation or your return, the refund will be processed within 5-7 business days. I have asked for a refund.

How will I be refunded?

Refunds shall be issued back to the debit or credit card which was originally entered at checkout. I haven’t received an email with my statement/payment information. You can log in the Klarna app or at www.klarna.com/uk, where you will find all of your orders and payment schedule information.
